More Than a Monster

Grendel Press has done it again by spellbinding 16 stories into one anthology you won't want to put down...

Within these pages is an expedition into the uncharted realms of the human experience. It's a reminder that definitions are malleable, and that the line between light and darkness, virtue and vice, can blur in ways that both mesmerize and unsettle.

From the publisher that brought you Paramnesia and The Devil Who Loves Me comes a riveting mix of fantasy, horror, and gut-wrenching honesty.

Here are just a few of the stories you'll find in More Than a Monster:

"Woodwose" by Jennifer Povey: Can a woodwose ever be accepted into polite human society? Does he even want to be?

"Quarry" by Liam Hogan: A tentacled monster lives in a quarry, taking its meals as they come. Will its insatiable hunger lead it to bite off more than it can chew?

"Starved" by Rachel Nussbaum: A werewolf isolates herself from those she loves, only to meet another like her who shows her it's okay to let her walls down.

"De Casibus" by J. Rocky Colavito: A kaiju looking for entertainment finds himself in a fight he may not be able to win.

"Vesper's Garden" by Ville Meril inen: A grief-stricken moondeer aims to eradicate the village of humans who killed her kin. Will she find vengeance?

More Than a Monster will take you on a journey that blurs the line between human and monster. This anthology has been carefully curated to weave a tapestry of emotions and has been polished like a mirror to reflect the very essence of what it means to be alive. Do you know what it means to be More Than a Monster?
